The "no one cares" of 985 universities: an unpopular major in Lanzhou University, an opportunity or a choice?
The picture comes from the Internet
In the 2024 postgraduate entrance examination, a war without gunpowder came to an end, and when candidates rushed to popular universities and majors in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places, Lanzhou University, a 985 university located in the northwest, had an unexpected scene: some majors were unexpectedly unpopular
Some people exclaimed "incredible", some ridiculed "Lanzhou University also has today", and some people began to think deeply: Is the "no one caring" of 985 colleges and universities an accidental event, or does it reflect a deeper educational phenomenon?
Cold Thinking Behind the Unpopularity: Geographical Location, Discipline Development and Times Change
The picture comes from the Internet
In recent years, with the rapid economic development of the eastern coastal region and the concentration of higher education resources, Lanzhou University is facing severe challenges such as brain drain and declining quality of students
Geographical location is the unavoidable disadvantage of Lanzhou University, located in the northwest inland, far away from the economically developed areas, the climatic conditions are relatively harsh, these have become the factors that hinder the introduction of talents and the selection of students, many candidates in the choice of universities, more inclined to convenient transportation, economically developed, rich cultural life area, and the geographical location of Lanzhou University is obviously difficult to meet these needs
Discipline development is the key factor affecting the attractiveness of universities, Lanzhou University's traditional advantageous disciplines are mainly concentrated in the field of basic disciplines, such as chemistry, geography, atmospheric science, etc., and the competitiveness of these disciplines in the job market is relatively weak
The picture comes from the Internet
With the rapid development of information technology and the continuous change of social needs, the traditional discipline division and talent training model have been difficult to adapt to the development of the times
Opportunities and Challenges: A Two-sided Interpretation, Multiple Perspectives of Candidates, Universities and Society
The emergence of "unpopular" majors in Lanzhou University is both an opportunity and a challenge for candidates, universities and society
The picture comes from the Internet
For candidates, choosing an "unpopular" major means less competitive pressure and a greater chance of going ashore, and in the competition for graduate school entrance examinations where scores are king, choosing an "unpopular" major means that you can enter 985 colleges and universities with relatively low scores for further study and obtain high-quality educational resources and academic atmosphere
Opportunities and risks coexist, choosing an "unpopular" major also means that the future career development path may be more tortuous, because the "unpopular" major is often out of touch with market demand, graduates may face greater challenges when they are employed, therefore, candidates need to have a clear understanding of their own interests, abilities and career planning when choosing an "unpopular" major, and make full psychological preparation and career planning
For Lanzhou University, the emergence of "unpopular" majors is both a wake-up call and an opportunity, which reminds the university that it needs to face up to the problems existing in its own development, such as the unreasonable discipline structure, the lagging talent training model, and the lack of geographical advantages, and take effective measures to improve them
The picture comes from the Internet
The school can take this opportunity to optimize the discipline layout, develop characteristic disciplines, and create new discipline growth points, and the school can increase the support for "unpopular" majors, attract outstanding talents, enhance the competitiveness of disciplines, and build "unpopular" majors into the characteristics and advantages of the school
For the society, the emergence of "unpopular" majors in Lanzhou University has triggered people's thinking about the allocation of higher education resources, talent training mode, unbalanced regional development and other issues, how to guide colleges and universities to reasonably set up majors, optimize the discipline structure, how to cultivate innovative talents in line with social needs, and how to promote regional coordinated development, these are all problems that need to be deeply thought about and solved
Expert Analysis: Insight into the future and rational view of "unpopular" majors
The picture comes from the Internet

Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Education Sciences, said that the emergence of "unpopular" majors at Lanzhou University also reflects the fierce competition for the current postgraduate entrance examination
The picture comes from the Internet
The relevant person in charge of Lanzhou University said that the school will carefully analyze the reasons for the emergence of "unpopular" majors and take effective measures to solve them, and the school will further optimize the discipline layout, increase the support for "unpopular" majors, and improve the level of discipline construction and the quality of talent training
Your choice, your thinking: find your own course in the tide of the times

For students who are about to enter the examination room, choosing a major is not only to choose a future career direction, but also to choose a way of life and an attitude towards life
For colleges and universities, they need to constantly adjust their own development strategies, optimize the layout of disciplines, and improve the quality of talent training in order to be invincible in the fierce competition
For the society, it is necessary to create a more fair and reasonable distribution mechanism of educational resources, guide the healthy development of colleges and universities, and create a good environment for the growth of talents
In the tide of the times, only by continuous learning, continuous exploration and continuous innovation can we find our own course and create a better future
